Unknown Masonic Token

Good morning my fellow coin collecting people's. Today I have a puzzling one for you. Recently won this through an auction. Seller didn't really know much about it but mystery coins kinda intrigue me. But I wanted to see if anyone knew anything about it. So take a look! I took two photos just in case. There is absolutely nothing on the reverse.

My best guess would be that it's a Masonic penny of some sort. You probably won't get a definitive ID with that much wear, though.

 

could be a pop out coin with a masonic sign with a lot of circulation.

 

Did you check this site?

my guess is a token

Possibly a British token.

Looks slightly familiar

 

Masonic temples almost always have a member that is a historian of some sort that can assist. Contact your local one and see if someone might be able to help out. I've received assistance a couple times on things from my grandfather.

In the old days, lots of Masons used to carry around membership tokens. I ended up with one from the 50's at an auction - ironically from the same temple that my grandfather was a part of back in the 30's/40's. The local lodge helped me figure them out - kinda neat history lesson.

 

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and ideas. I will check the token catalog first. I have it bookmarked just in case. But I like the idea of checking out the nearest lodge. Might be fun to see what they say.

 

It appears to be a generic "Masonic Penny", and too worn to tell anything about it.

 

I agree with willieboyd.
